According to AD Gene Smith, "We're really only talking about 1 percent that we're trying to get to."

Exactly. Just 1%. Or 84%. But somewhere in that neighborhood.

* The team was all excited. North Carolina Central had just beaten Southern University 27-20. They go into the lockeroom to celebrate...only to find out that they had all their stuff stolen. Turns out somebody took their wallets, electronic gear and various other items during the game.

* Last year Sparty, after defeating Notre Dame, planted their flag on the ND field. At the 35 yard line. So last night, after blowing a game for the ages, a few members of the Spartan team decided to defend the honor of Spartan Stadium. Sorry guys, any honor that might have been there disappeared a year ago after your flag plant.

Regarding the NCC theft, continue reading the article: "Southern University officials decided more than a week ago to increase security at its home football games in light of a shooting across the street from the stadium that left a 59-year-old Port Allen man dead. The shooting happened off-campus at a credit union during Southern's first home football game."

Who did Southern hire to reduce the level of violence, members of the Iraqi National Guard?

What the hell were the MSU players doing? You would think those guys would have sprinted off the field with towels over the heads so the press couldn't identify them after that horrendous gift of a game to ND. They gave them the game, why try to stop them from planting a flag on the 50-yd line (if ND wanted)? It's like a girl gladly giving you a rimjob, but opposed to giving you a bj.

have to wonder if they "planned" this? like, did they sat around the locker at some point during the week and discuss who was going to guard the "s" in event of a loss? i hope not- that's a pretty sad statement on their confidence.

which makes you ask the second question- did these 3 future rocket scientists come up w/ this on their own on the spur of the moment? what did these three guys think they were going to do if 10 or 20 (or more) ND players headed out to the middle of the field? knock down the cheerleaders while the players planted a flag?

it's not like they were able to handle ND 11 on 11 the whole 4th quarter. how were these 3 planning to handle a mob of them all by themselves?

which brings me to my last question- i tend to recall a little flag planting ceremony in A2 about this time last year, and this saturday is stop #3 on the 2006 Payback's a Bitch Tour. i can't imagine Lloyd will put up w/ something like the flag planting the gophers pulled last year, but after throwing deep w/ 40 seconds at the end of the wiscky game last saturday, i wonder if they won't come up w/ something this saturday- if only running up the score?

mgoblue, that guitar riff is 'Carmen Ohio' and its a nod to Jimi Hendrix's rendition of the 'Star Spangled Banner' that he performed at Woodstock.......but I wouldn't expect a 12 year old to know that.
